Only the
world’s most exceptional whiskies are nominated at the annual event organised
by The Whisky Magazine, and with a record number of entries this year leading
to tough competition, Old Pulteney has even greater cause to celebrate this
accolade.

Commenting
on the news, Margaret Mary Clarke, Old Pulteney Senior Brand Manager, said: “This is a wonderful win for everyone at
Pulteney Distillery and we couldn’t be more proud to have our 1989 Vintage
recognised as the world’s best single malt. When we released the whisky last
year it was a real hit with whisky enthusiasts and Old Pulteney devotees, who
already recognise the quality and character of our full range of fine single
malts. Last night’s award is another great testament to the dedicated Distillery team up in Wick whose passion and
skill for creating incredible malt whiskies continue to be recognised around
the world.”

Old Pulteney has been acclaimed for its excellence many times
over. Old Pulteney’s 21 Year Old single malt, holds the coveted title of ‘World
Whisky of the Year’ for 2012 in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. The whisky also
achieved top ten status in the UK single malt market in 2012.

Each distinctively designed
bottle of Old Pulteney 1989 Vintage is natural in colour, non-chill filtered
and bottled at 46% ABV.
